I love the simplicity of the Pluviae Shower Head from Matteo Thun & Partners. Matteo Thun designs everything from fabrics to sunglasses. Thun’s personal design principles reflect his respect for nature and surroundings, simplicity of layout, serenity of spirit and sensuality of material and light.
The shower curtain is optional – especially in a wet room.
Very soon Diva de Provencewill be making it’s new Diva 365 induction range available . The 36-inch stainless steel professional range is an industry first, combining an all-electric convection self-cleaning oven with a five burner induction cooktop.The five burner Diva Induction cooktop utilizes electromagnetic energy that heats only the cookware. The onyx vitroceramic glass surface remains cool to the touch providing easy clean up of spilled food that would typically burn on the surface of a regular cooktop. Also, Diva Induction Cooktops heat food faster, boiling water in half the time of the most powerful gas or electric burner, while the kitchen stays cool. This rapid heating process saves time and energy.Not all pots and pans will work for induction cooking. For your cookware to work on induction it requires a ferrous metal base or layer. This ferrous metal is necessary as it is the layer that will get hot when placed in the electromagnetic field. Generally speaking, most stainless steel cookware and cast iron cookware will work on induction cooktops. Copper, glass and aluminum cookware will not work on induction. To test your cookware to see if it will work on induction, try to stick a magnet to the base. If it sticks it will work.
Have you ever looked at something and wondered why it took so long for someone to create it? That’s how I feel about this universal toilet. It is more elegant in design and more functional than any product currently on the market.
The designers, Changduk Kim and Youngki Hong of Korea, designed this toilet to address the emotional components of being disabled. Their view is that by creating a toilet that is equally useable by everyone, there is no longer a need for special signage or for disabled people to feel singled out by dedicated facilities.
Wheelchair users don’t need to turn or twist but can simply slide forward off the wheelchair directly onto the toilet. There is a chest board they can lean against for added stability and comfort. Handles on the chest board can also be helpful when standing or transferring to and from the wheelchair. For people that have limited dexterity or strength and the able-bodied, the chest board becomes a backboard to lean against.
The toilet is wrapped in steel to prevent damage to the toilet’s finish from possible wheelchair contact. Surfaces on the toilet that come in contact with the human body are treated with a special coating to mitigate coldness.

Hunting for the perfect mirror for the bathroom can sometimes seem impossible.
I really like how the use of multiple small mirrors over the mosaic tile keeps
this sink area fresh and interesting.
It’s also a great solution when a tall adult and a small child will use the room.
I don’t recommend keeping the towel in the sink though.
